Stator Replacement

[82ndAirborne]

My stator is fried and I need to replace it. I've watched a couple of videos but they don't provide details like Torque values..etc. I only have basic mechanical skills, but I want to be able to work on my bike (2006 K9). This looks like something I could do with the right info.

I just did this on my BD Bagger . Its is not hard to do and I upgraded to the 40amp compu-fire because I might be adding a better stereo system and wanted more voltage. You do not have to take off the clutch basket which makes it really easy. You should be able to look at one of the manuals here and get torque values. I have to give a shout out to Curtis at Wild Steed Worx because he answered any questions that I had.

Thanks for the information. I'm still undecided whether I can handle this or not. It seems rather simple but I would feel alot better with some instructions. I read an earlier post but all the images were missing.

Great...I think I'll give it a shot. Appreciate the help. It may be a couple of weeks before I can get to it but I'll let you know how it turned out.

Perfect! Thanks

Remember, parts is parts. You can handle the task. If ya run into a snag, make a post. You will end up bonding with ur Dog on another level.

I was a Ft. Bragg 69-71 lived off base such along time ago I can't remember if I lived in Springlake or Fayetteville. Yes, if you haven't bought rotor, stator, and voltage regulator give Curtis at Wild Steed Worx a call. It's believed that the old charging system may be responsible for a lot of the electrical problems. Voltage spikes getting past Voltage regulator causing an accumulation of problems to electrical components. Two years ago Curtis had me change to a 32amp charging system, new rotor, stator, and voltage regulator, with 40amp breaker separating charging system from battery and a 25amp breaker separating battery from electrical system. If my memory serves me right. Also, went with Axtel's German EHC. No problems the last 2 years. He may be on to better information now. Give Curtis a call.

You were there while the fighting was in high gear (Vietnam). I was there much later (79-84). I was married and we lived in Spring Lake for a while too. I bitched every chance I got but now I couldn't be more proud than to have been a Paratrooper. Man we thought we were a bunch of Bad Ass Dudes! I still am after about 8 beers!

My father was a Green Beret. We were living in Panama in 67-68 when he got orders for Nam. He was an E8, First Sergeant assigned to an Intelligence Company in S.F. Headquarters up in Nha Trang. I think it was the 5th or 7th Special Forces Group. His company was scattered all over, they gathered enemy radio traffic and turned it in to be processed for intel. He's had one hell of a life. He's 85 now, and just recently decided it would be alright to tell me some of these things.

I'm not being a wise ass, but are you certain your stator is bad and not some other part of the charging system?

Well...I was hoping nobody would ask that question so I wouldn't have to admit that I burned it up. Here's the story. I knew I had a charging problem because my battery died two days in a row. I got my voltmeter out and tested the output on the stator. Checked out fine, nice outout voltage...increased on engine rev also. Next, I disconnected the voltage regulator wire at the circuit breaker so I wouldn't read anything coming from the battery. When I checked the outout from the voltage Regulator I got 0 volts. So, I ordered a voltage regulator. A few days later I decided to change the oil. When I unscrewed the oil filter, a considerable amount dripped down the front. No problem right? When i finished everything and fired up the bike, a cloud of smoke came out from underneath! The voltage regulator had a big crack in the top which allowed the oil to seep in and ignite! Since the regulator was still plugged into the stator...short to ground... As soon as I unplugged it the smoke stopped, but not before frying the stator. So, get your credit card out!
